Swastikas were printed in middle-school yearbooks at the United Nations International School (UNIS) in New York, according to Ynet. The school has launched an investigation and pulled remaining copies from circulation, as Jewish and Israeli parents accuse administrators of failing to address antisemitism on campus.
This is the latest development in an ongoing controversy at the United Nations International School in New York. As The Zioneer reported at 09:01 this morning, the school had already opened an internal investigation after swastikas and homophobic remarks were printed in middle-school yearbooks. Parents speaking to Ynet now report the incident is not isolated, alleging that school administrators have failed to adequately address antisemitism on campus. The institution has pulled all remaining yearbooks from circulation while the investigation continues. The deputy ambassador of Israel to the UN is expected to meet with parents this week. The case highlights growing concerns among Jewish and Israeli families about antisemitism in elite international schools in the New York area.
